You can play this using the open G and C chords as
well, but it sounds like barre chords in the song
to me. Either way just follow this progression:
SOL SOL DO SOL SOL SOL SOL DO SOL SOL SOL SOL DO SOL SOL SOL SOL SOL SOL SOL SOL

Notes with a "+" under them mean that they are very
staccato (short and not accented) so if you can't
play this piece as fast as Chris, exclude these notes.
Play this piece five times, and then on the sixth time
through, strum the last half of it.
